Hey All You Cali Z People...

[texasz]

Are any of you located in/near Rancho Cucamonga, California? If you are please PM/email me. There's a Z part I'm interested in and the seller will not ship...

Rancho Cucomunga is where Al Allen lives (Datsun-Parts on Ebay) If it's him, don't do it.

Rancho is a big city but that's exactly what I thought when I read that. I'm about 7 miles from there but I won't have anything to do with him.

That's who it is and I do know he's got a bad reputation around here. I'm certainly not looking at one of his engines...I'm scared to go there! What I am looking at is this set of racing seats. Hard to beat for the price though he will not ship them...hence my request for assistance.

Any thoughts or input is certainly appreciated.

You do realize that they are universal seats and require modification to fit into the 240z, right? You can find these seats all day long on Ebay from sellers who will ship such as http://motors.shop.ebay.com/__?_from=R40&_trksid=m39&_nkw=universal+racing+seats

KTM, does it require major modification? any welding? drilling holes? sorry to hijack this thread.

ztattoo, that I can not tell you until I actually see the seat rails. You can most certainly expect to do some drilling and fabrication. I installed 2008 Mazda Miata seats in mine without welding. I simply needed to make 4 pieces (2 for each seat) that extended the mounting point in the front. The rear mounts were addressed by drilling holes in the existing mounting brackets.

The mounting requirements depend on the length and width of the seat rails and brackets.

I did realize that they were universal and would require some bracket work to fit. I have 1 (maybe two) parts cars that I could take seat brackets from and use those as a starting point to build something from.

In any case, I had not realized the others selling similar seats for about the same total cost as I was expecting to pay for these inclding shipping. Thank you sooo much for the heads up. This now allows me to put that money towards my engine instead.
